It’s always something.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

You say he became a Democrat?

[dfwgator]

Hopefully he wasn’t taking a train to Busan.

Thailand’s the key.

[dfwgator]

Thailand?

[nickcarraway]

The man was in Thailand for four months.

If they hurry up and give him a PCR test then it could be recorded as a COVID related brain eating amoeba

but i guess they aren't actively fabricating a pandemic right now

Has Fauci declared this amoeba a successful “Proof of Concept”?

[bravo whiskey]

Democrats are safe. The ameoba starves to death.

[Gay State Conservative]

I think that dfwgator was referring to a long running joke on FR.

Phasers are back online, Captain!

First case? I’m surprised. This is the reason DisneyWorld banned all swimming on their beaches because they had ONE death from this back in 1980.

[BykrBayb]

Thailand?

One selfish bad amoeba can spoil the fun for everybody!

“Naegleria fowleri infects people when water containing the ameba enters the body through the nose. Infection is rare and typically occurs when people go swimming or diving in warm freshwater places, like lakes and rivers. Very rarely, infections have been reported when people submerge their heads, cleanse their noses during religious practices, or irrigate their sinuses (nose) using contaminated tap or faucet water. Naegleria fowleri can grow in pipes, hot water heaters, and water systems, including treated public drinking water systems. You cannot get infected from drinking water contaminated with Naegleria. You can only be infected when contaminated water goes up into your nose.”

Is this what Gates of hell is going to spring on us next? Because it can’t effect liberal sheep.

A lot of people do that sinus washing where they carefully pour water up their nose to slosh around in the nasal sinuses and are drained. I believe there were a few cases in u.s. when the water used was contaminated with the amoeba.
I would rather drink lots of water(if it would be ok, considering any condition I have) to dilute sinus secretions, rather than risk putting some bad stuff up my nose.

Eats brains? We’re pretty safe here.
